1. What is the primary purpose of a maintenance handbook for an AI-built application?

   1. To document the original code that the AI wrote
   2. To explain the AI tools used to build the app
   3. To enable another human or agent to understand, run, and fix the app
   4. To show off the app's features to stakeholders

2. Which of the following would NOT typically be included in a maintenance handbook?

   1. Where the application's data is stored
   2. The specific AI model name used to generate the code
   3. Known risks or limitations of the application
   4. How to deploy the application to production

3. What does the principle 'name the job before naming the tool' mean?

   1. Tool names should appear alphabetically in documentation
   2. You should first define what the application needs to accomplish, then discuss how to achieve it
   3. You should list all AI tools used in development
   4. The development team's job titles are more important than tool names

4. Why is it important to 'run the result as a user, not as a fan of the tool'?

   1. To verify the AI's capabilities and showcase its features
   2. To document all the tool's capabilities for marketing
   3. To compare different AI tools objectively
   4. To test whether the app actually solves the intended problem for end users

5. What does 'inspect the diff' refer to in app maintenance?

   1. Examining changes made to the codebase
   2. Analyzing variations in data storage methods
   3. Reviewing user interface design differences
   4. Comparing different AI models' outputs

6. What does 'failure path' mean in the context of maintaining an AI-built app?

   1. The path to the failure logs in the file system
   2. The way the AI failed during development
   3. The process the AI used to generate the original code
   4. The steps to follow when the app breaks or encounters an error

7. According to the principles in this lesson, what type of data should an app never expose?

   1. Public documentation and README files
   2. API endpoint URLs
   3. Error messages and stack traces
   4. Sensitive credentials, private keys, or personal user data

8. What is the purpose of identifying a 'rollback path' when maintaining an app?

   1. To provide a documented way to revert to a previous working state if something goes wrong
   2. To document the original version before AI modifications
   3. To trace how users navigate through the app
   4. To map the data flow through the application

9. What does it mean to write 'the smallest useful scope' for a maintenance handbook?

   1. Create the minimum documentation needed for someone to understand and maintain the app
   2. Write documentation only for the AI tools used in development
   3. Document only the most complex features in detail
   4. Write as little documentation as possible, even if it leaves gaps

10. Why should the maintenance handbook be written early in the app's lifecycle?

    1. Because the details are freshest then and it helps transition from prototype to production
    2. To meet legal compliance requirements
    3. To satisfy investor requirements
    4. Because AI tools automatically generate it

11. Which of the following is NOT listed as a key term in the lesson?

    1. Debugging
    2. Maintenance
    3. Handoff
    4. README

12. In this context, what does 'observable' mean for an application?

    1. The app's behavior and state can be monitored and understood
    2. The app has a graphical user interface
    3. The app can be seen by all users
    4. The app's source code is publicly visible

13. What is a 'runbook' in the context of app maintenance?

    1. A set of documented procedures for routine operations and troubleshooting
    2. A book about physical exercise for developers
    3. A record of all code commits made by the AI
    4. A guide for selecting and configuring AI tools

14. What is the relationship between the maintenance handbook and the concept of 'handoff'?

    1. They are unrelated concepts in app development
    2. Handoff happens before the handbook is written
    3. The handbook serves as the primary tool for handing off the app to others
    4. The handbook replaces the need for any verbal handoff

15. Why is it important to inspect data access when maintaining an AI-built app?

    1. To speed up the app's data retrieval
    2. To ensure the app doesn't accidentally expose or leak sensitive information
    3. To count how many times data was accessed by users
    4. To see which AI tool accessed the data first
